Guynemer

Vieux Charles

Fly like an Ace! Charles Guynemer (1894-1917) was the leading Ace for France in WWI. Guynemer flew aircraft emblazoned with the iconic red stork and a black streamer flying off his wing strut inscribed, “Vieux Charles” or “Old Charles”. Hard to miss in the skies over France!
